OBS

Consisting of glasses with VISI-TRONIC lens and a solid state simulator control, the pilot's visual range can be reduced from one mile to zero-zero by adjusting the RVR selector. While the lower inside quadrant of the lens is clear, the remaining 80% is obscured in fog-like appearance. If the pilot looks outside the cockpit, the lower quadrant will fog instantly but will clear once he returns to the instruments.
